Bible Question: IN MARK 2:3-5 DIDNT THEY BREAK A LAW BY TEARING THE ROOF OFF THAT HOUSE,? AND IS IT TRUE TO SAY THEY HAD DETERMINATION?

Bible Answer: Greetings Jahleel, Most homes in Palestine had flat roofs that were used for relaxation in the col of the day and for sleeping on hot nights. There was usually a external stairway that went up to the roof. It was probably this type of house that where Jesus was preaching. The roofs were made of clay that was placed on supporting beams and then covered with another layer of clay. The friends of the paralytic just removed these slabls of clay to lower him down. I know of no law that would of forbid this as it would of been easily repaired. Yes it would be true to say that the paralytic's friends had a aggressive and persistant determination to get their friend healed. This proved their great faith in Christ that Christ could heal their friend. prayon
